Two armed robbers looted valuables worth about Rs. 25,000 from a reporter of a local newspaper on Friday. The victim, Farhan Ali Khan, resident of Venus Housing Scheme located on Main Ferozepur Road was headed home on his motorcycle late Thursday night. As he reached the Kalma Chowk Bridge, two motorcyclists (bike registration number LER-1607) approached him from behind and forced him to stop his motorbike on gunpoint.
The robbers snatched Rs. 14,630 in cash, his mobile phone and wallet from Khan at gunpoint and vanished. Khan immediately informed the police about the mishap, but as per routine, the policemen reached the crime scene half an hour too. The policemen received application of the mishap from Khan and started investigating the matter. The case, however, is yet to be registered by the police, despite 18 hours having elapsed since the mishap.
